I would never trust USPS with that unit. I would go for UPS/FedEx/DHL (dont use DHL) over USPS to transport a heavy package like that. Also I guess since it's in the realm of possibility - what's the shipping estimate on the Super Slim for California USA?
I've had bad luck with UPS and FedEx is > $200 to ship out of the country. USPS is the only affordable option I've found so far. I agree that it's a bit hit-or-miss to ship heavy items. I can send the superslim for $10 FedEx.
I believe it does. It runs debug media without a problem. The console itself is not QA flagged and runs normal DEX firmware. It does use retail controllers.
UPS is horrible outside the US. Never..ever..ship UPS out of country. Had something shipped by them from US to me in Canada, they held my package hostage for over a month, wanted like $80 in bullshit fees to get it, told them to just ship it back then. Showed up on my doorstep like a week later, I guess they didn't want to ship it back.
